Sounds good. A shame its not ready next weekend
I'll be heading down to Canberra on the 26th for a few days of R&R. Missus is going to the states, so i'm going down to visit mother.
A trip to the Wig & Pen will be in order.

I will be in canberra for a good part of next year for work where we got a house in red hill. Everyone raves about the kingo (kingston hotel) down there. Haven't been there yet does it live up to the hype?

They have Coopers and Fat Yak on tap. Both over-priced ($6 and $6.90 respectively.) Everything else on tap is Carlton et al or Fake Euro. Nothing in bottles worth buying, just Crowns etc. They're owned by the same mob who own the Uni pub in Civic (who are building an "Ivy" next door to the Uni Pub because the owner "loves the Ivy".) The place is run like a well-oiled Woolies/Coles pub operation. I personally hate the place. No women, or almost none, it's almost all blokes who go there. I'm not saying I like to sit and perv at the opposite sex constantly (I'm married), but they do add to the atmosphere. I've actually started going back to the Wig & Pen as my main waterhole...when places like the Kingston charge $6 for Coopers I may as well spend an extra $1 for Rumpole Pale.
But yeah, I can't wait for Zeirholz to open at UC. Apart from anything else, because it's on campus, with (poor?) students the main market, I'm guessing (hoping) the beers will all be $5 (or less.) It's still a "construction zone", but I'm guessing it'll open early 2012.
